Application filed January 5, 1926. Serial No. 79,447.

This invention relates to salesbooks.

An object of this invention is to provide a manifolding salesbook in which a plurality of copies may be made, some of which contain subject-matter which does not appear upon others.

A further object is to produce a salesbook of the character described, which is adapted to make one copy containing only a portion of the record appearing upon the others and to construct such a book in a simple, efiicient and economical manner.

Other objects of the invention will be in part obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. 7

The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts, which will be exemplified in the construction herein- 2 after set forth and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a book embodying this invention, and

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation. In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a pad composed of sets of leaves, each set comprising three leaves, 2, 3, and 4, the leaves 4 of each set being bound together as at 5 into a stub. The numeral 6 designates a pad of 1 tissue leaves. The pads 1 and 6 are held together by backs 7 and 8, one bound into each pad, the two backs being hinged together as shown at 9. The proportion of the parts is such that the leaves of the pad 6 may extend over the stub portion of the pad 1 and lie between the leaves of each set in succession.

As illustrated, each set of leaves of the pad 1, comprises a sheet folded upon itself as at 10 to produce the sheets 2 and 4, while an auxiliary sheet 3 which is shorter than either of the leaves 2 and 4, is pasted to the sheet 4 at a point 11 intermediate between the fold 10 and the free end 12 to leave space for inscription both above and below the point of attachment as shown at 13 and 14. The leaves 2, 3, and 4 thus comprise three superposed leaves, all having their ends extending in the same direction, that is, toward the left as shown in Fig. 1. The sheet 4, however, is longer than the 5 other two at the end 12 to provide an extension by which it may be bound into the stub 5. The two carbon sheets 15 and 16 are also bound into the stub, one of which 15 is intended to lie beneath the auxiliary sheet 3, while the other 16, is arranged to overlie the sheet 3. Sheet ,15 is therefore of a length to terminate short of the point of, attachment 11 of the sheet 3, while the sheet 16 is the full length of the sheet 4. The sheet 16 is preferably carbonized upon both faces.

Weakened lines are provided to separate the sheets preferably as shown at 17 to facilitate the separation of the leaf 3 from the roll 4 and at 18 to facilitate severance of the leaf 2 from the leaf 4. Additional weakened lines may be provided, if desired, as at 19 and 20. to permit the removal of the lower parts of the sheets 2 and 4. y

In using the book, the carbons will be interlaid between the sheets as previously described with one tissue sheet 21 from the pad 6 interleaved between the original sheet 2 and the carbon sheet 16. When so arranged, it will be clear that any inscription written upon the upper sheet above the weakened line 19 will be transferred to all of the lower sheets of the set while any inscription written below the line 19 will be copied only on to the tissue 20 and the-sheet 4.

Since certain changes may be made in the above construction and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention 95 herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to falltherebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: v

' 1. In a salesbook, a sheet folded upon itself to form an upper and a lower record leaf, an auxiliary leaf having attachment to the upper face of said lower record leaf intermediate between the fold and the end thereof to leave s ace for inscription on said upper face both a ve and below said attachment, all of said leaves having their free ends extending in the same direction, the free end of said lower 110 sheet being extended beyond the free ends of the other sheets for binding into a pad.

2. A salesbook, comprising, in combination, a pad composed of, sets of record sheets, each set comprising a sheet folded upon itself to form two record leaves, a third leaf having attachment to the upper face of one of said record leaves intermediate its ends to leave space for inscription on said upper face both above and below said attachment, all of said leaves having their ends extending in the same direction, one of said ends being extended beyond the others for binding in a stub, a second pad, means for supporting said second pad in position to have its leaves interfolded with the leaves of the first mentioned pad over the st-ub of said pad and a plurality of carbon sheets bound within said stub, one of said carbons having the length of said original leaf and the other having a length to lie beneath said auxiliary sheet.

3. A sales book including, in combination,

a pad having sets of record leaves each set including a sheet folded upon itself to form an upper and a lower record leaf, an auxiliary leaf having attachment to the upper face of said lower record leaf intermediate between the fold and the end thereof to leave spaces for inscription on said upper faceboth above and below said attachment, all ofsaid leaves having their free ends extending in the same direct-ion, the end of said lower leaf opposite the fold being bound into the pad and a plurality of transfer sheetsattached to the pad so as to be interleaved with the record leaves, one of said transfer sheets adapted to overlie said lower record leaf beneath said auxiliary leaf and another transfer'sheet being longer than said one transfer sheet so as to overlap the upper face of said auxiliary leaf and to overlap'the upper face of said lower leaf beyond said attachment.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EDWARD KIRBY BOTTLE.
